This new kit features “bush wheels” for landing on soft ground and skis for landing on snow covered surfaces typically found in Alaska and Canada. The kit includes decals printed by Cartograf and features a choice of registration numbers and painting and marking options for USA and Canadian registration.

11697 1/48 Beechcraft® T-34B U.S. Navy “Mentor” After World War II funding for new United States military equipment was scarce. A new more cost effective airplane for pilot training was needed that had good speed and maneuverability with gentle flight characteristics. The U.S. military turned to Beechcraft Aviation modify the already successful Bonanza into a tandem seat military trainer thus creating the T-34 Mentor. The United States Navy purchased a modified Mentor designated T-34B which was used for training Navy pilots throughout the 1950’s. The T-34 A/B production ended in 1959 but many of these airplanes were sold after they were retired from use by the U.S. military. Many exam-ples of this successful airplane can still be seen today in private ownership.

14725 1/144 LC-130 Hercules® ”Includes New Tooling” The C-130 Hercules first entered service in the mid-nineteen fifties. Throughout its service life the Hercules was recognized to be among the most efficient and reliable air transport in US Air Force inventory. The C-130 was adapted for use in harsh Arctic and Antarctic regions by adding skis for operation from snow and ice covered landing strips. More recent modifications include engine and propeller modifications best recognized by the unique 8 blade propellers. The new Minicraft LC-130 features new tooling for skis and optional use of the 8 blade pro-pellers as seen on the latest C-130J outfitted to operate in extreme cold.

14741 1/144 KB-29P SuperfortressTM “TANKER”The KB-29 was the first aircraft to routinely refuel aircraft in-flight to extend airborne range to intercontinental distances. The B-29 bomber was adapted for use as a tanker to extend the range of bombers to deliver atomic weapons. Further development of in-flight refueling by Boeing resulted in a new “flying boom” which greatly improved in-flight transfer of fuel. This innovation made in-flight refueling both practical and essential for US defense policy in the post-war world. This new Minicraft KB-29P features all-new tooling for the “flying boom” air refueling system. The kit features rotating propellers, position-able landing to display with gear up or down, and a clear stand for displaying the airplane in flight.

Recently the United States armed forces contracted ATAC to supply retired French F1 fighters for use in advanced combat training of pilots in schools made famous as “top gun” training programs. The F1 will soon fly again to hone the skills of America’s future top guns. This new Minicraft kit features the new clear stand and new markings representing the F1 in ATAC/USAF training command service featuring decals printed by Cartograf.

14756 1/144 Hawker “Tempest”The Hawker Tempest was an improved design of the RAF Typhoon. After a nearly complete redesign the Typhoon, the new airplane was re-designated Hawker Tempest.

This new Minicraft 1/144 kit offers new markings for the aircraft and a clear stand for display in-flight as a desk top display or “on the ground with landing gear deployed.

14758 1/144 B-52G Stratofortress TM

This new 1/144 Minicraft B-52 represents both early and late B-52G. The long-range B-52G flew from distant bases in the Indian ocean and credited for having delivered more bombs on target than any other aircraft used during both Gulf Wars. This kit features new tooling for unique tail arma-ment and radar array and new weapons pylons and GDAM guided bombs.

14759 1/144 B-29A SuperfortressTM “Late War”The B-29A was employed as a long-range heavy bomber to bomb the Japanese mainland from distant bases in China and the Pacific islands in WWII.

Modifications were made to the B-29 to improve speed and payload and to integrate the delivery of new atomic weapons into the aircraft design. The modified airplane was expected to become the B-29D but so many modifications were made that the airplane was re-designated the Boeing B-50, the first purpose built aircraft to carry atomic weapons. The new Minicraft B-50 will feature all new tooling representing the aircraft first flown in 1947. The new kit will feature rotating propellers, position-able landing to display with gear up or down, and a clear stand for displaying the airplane in flight.
